This reflects a net addition of 29 vessels with an increase of 0.07 million GT during the calendar year 2019 (Table 1.1, Section 1). 1.2 Out of the 1429 vessels registered as on 31st December, 2019, 972 vessels (68%) with 1.48 million GT were engaged in coastal trade and the remaining 457 vessels (32%) with 11.27 million GT were deployed for overseas trade. Thus the tonnage deployed for overseas trade was 88.4% of Indian GT in contrast to 11.6% of the tonnage deployed for coastal trade (Table 1.1, Section 1). The growth of Indian Shipping Fleet (Overseas & Coastal Trade) during last three years is shown in Chart I. i 1.3 The age profile of Indian merchant shipping vessels as shown in Table 1 indicates that about 41.4% of the fleet was above 20 years of age, 20.5 % of the fleet was between 6-10 years, 10.7 % of the fleet was between 0-5 years while 12.6 % & 14.8 % of the fleet were in the age groups of 16-20 years and 11-15 years respectively. The detailed age composition of Indian Shipping Fleet engaged in coastal & overseas trade is given in Table 2.3 (Section 2) & Table 3.3 (Section 3).

Eng. Or. Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d’origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format 1 Summary This report focuses on regulations governing international liner and bulk shipping. Both modes are closely linked to international trade, deriving from it their growth. Also, as a service industry to trade international shipping, which is by far the main mode of international transport of goods, has facilitated international trade and has contributed to its expansion. Total seaborne trade volume was estimated by UNCTAD to have reached 5330 million metric tons in 2000. The report discusses the web of regulatory measures that surround these two segments of the shipping industry, and which have a considerable impact on its performance. As well as reviewing administrative regulations to judge whether they meet their intended objectives efficiently and effectively, the report examines all those aspects of economic regulations that restrict entry, exit, pricing and normal commercial practices, including different forms of business organisation. However, those regulatory elements that cover competition policy as applied to liner shipping will be dealt with in a separate study to be undertaken by the OECD Secretariat Many measures that apply to maritime transport services are not part of a regulatory framework but constitute commercial practices of market operators.

The collected data used for analyses in individual modules are stored in a SQL server of shared access. Vector electronic navigation charts of S-57 standard specification are used as the cartographic background. The width of the waterway is calculated by means of the method developed on the basis of the modified PIANC guidelines. The main goal of the research is to prove and demonstrate that the designed software would directly increase the navigation safety level of the Swinouj´scie–Szczecin´ fairway and indicate the optimal positioning methods in various navigation circumstances.

  • Ocean Shipping Cartels: a Survey Abstract 1 Introduction Liner
    Review of Network Economics Vol.3, Issue 2 – June 2004 Ocean Shipping Cartels: A Survey WILLIAM SJOSTROM* Centre for Policy Studies, National University of Ireland, Cork Abstract Liner shipping has been characterized by collusive agreements, called shipping conferences, since its founding in the mid-nineteenth century. This article surveys the competing models of shipping conferences, including monopolizing cartels and destructive competition models, and reviews a variety of their practices to see how much light they can shed on the profitability and efficiency of conferences. 1 Introduction Liner shipping is the business of offering common carrier ocean shipping services in international trade. Since it became an important industry in the 1870s, it has been characterized by various agreements between firms. Historically, since the formation in 1875 of the Calcutta Conference, the primary form of agreement in liner shipping has been the conference system. Variously called liner conferences, shipping conferences, and ocean shipping conferences, they are formal agreements between liner shipping lines on a route, always setting (possibly discriminatory) prices, and sometimes pooling profits or revenues, managing capacity, allocating routes, and offering loyalty discounts. Conferences agreements have been quite successful and in many cases have lasted for years. There were over 150 conferences operating in the world as of 2001(OECD, 2002, p.19). In the last ten to twenty years, conferences have begun to be supplanted by alliances, which are less complete (they do not, for example, set prices) but encompass more broadly defined trade routes. Section 1 of this survey will review the liner industry (1.1), the conference system (1.2), and the historical origins of the conference system (1.3).

This ferry has been operating safely and successfully ever since. Over the years that have followed, shipping has seen bunker prices rise sharply and environmental regula- tions tighten, while in the LNG sector there has been a surge in production and deployment of infrastructure. Combined, these trends have set the stage for LNG to emerge as a viable fuel choice on a much larger scale. In 2014 the industry hit a significant milestone with over 120 LNG-fuelled ships in operation or on order worldwide. They range from passenger ferries, Coast Guard ships, containerships and Con-Ro vessels to Dr Gerd-Michael Wuersig tankers and platform supply vessels.
